Hi Friends! Last night I posted a haul video on YouTube where I shared my crafty loot from a recent trip to ACmoore and the Dollar Tree. I asked what I should use first and the answer was overwhelmingly “The Markers!” Why, because they were cheap, like $24 for a set of 18 art markers and I only paid $12 because I had a coupon, cheap. And because I feel funny showing off all the new goodies I got I thought YOU should get something too so you can win all of the stamps I used in this note-card set! The stamps are from this plate from Art Neko and the entire set is half off right now! Don’t worry, if you buy them and then win the giveaway you can pick an equivalent in stamps. I do not know how long the sale is on for. All you have to do for a chance to win is leave a comment on this post and I will draw a winner next Friday. This giveaway is open to anyone in the world! Yay!

Markers can be really expensive but good markers are a joy to work with. I have used everything from Sharpies to Copics and everything in between. You can get good results with all of these markers if you know some techniques that I will show you in this video.

I would rate these no-name gems to be as good as Promarker and Prismacolor markers, better than Bic Mark-Its and Sharpies but not as good as Copics which I think is pretty darn good given what I paid for them. They were all very juicy and the fine tip end was pointy and springy like a brush nib but smaller than Copic. The palette blending technique and a blending pen is essential to getting smooth blends with a limited palette of bright colors. You must have an alcohol based blender marker for this to work but any brand is fine such as Copic, Prismacolor, Promarker or Spectrum Noir. If these blenders run dry you can refill them with denatured alcohol. A blender pen costs between $3-$7 depending what brand you get but they all are very similar.

I decided to make some envelopes to match these quick little note-cards. I think they would make a nice gift set for the holidays or a birthday gift.

I hope you enjoyed this review and coloring tutorial. Don’t forget to leave a comment to win the stamps from today’s project. If you end up shopping at Art Neko you can use my coupon code Lindsay10% to save 10% on your non-sale rubber. Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!

Such a great way to get free stamps. Love it. Always enjoy your videos. I learn so much from them. Interesting about all the different markers. I mostly use copics but willing to try others too. Thanks for all the information you pass on plus your great videos. Edna B.

I learned about Art Neko on your site and they were the first source I bought stamps from. I love your doing the leg work for us so we can create with affordable products. I sure would love some more Art Neko stamps. Perhaps I’ll be the lucky one. thanks. Susan S.

It is always so fun for me to watch your tutes. I get excited cause your excited. LOL Looks like you really found a bargin. I hereby crown you “Queen Of Bargins”.!! Thank you for the generous give away. Your so sweet.

wow those markers look like they work very well. I do not buy the pricey ones but I would go for these, maybe if they sell well they artmarker LOL company will make more sets. Thank you for all that you share, you are great. Happy Halloween!

Hi Lindsay! I love your videos and this is a really cool giveaway. My favorites are when you do reviews on things! My ultra fave that I still use is re-inking your own stamps! I ran all over town looking for that clear stuff (can’t even remember the name now!) I found it at a health store in a nearby small town! These markers look fab! We don’t have AC Moore, any idea where else we can find them? Thanks for the chance to win! xoxo Jen

It sure took me a while to figure out to click the article title in order to be able to leave a comment! Anywho… the stamps are great and the coloring/blending is something I’d love to try in school. Inexpensive markers are definitely the way to go and these seem like they’d be good.

Wow, for $12.00 markers those are pretty incredible! Of course, the artist has something to do with that! Love the stamps. The one of the bird I thought at first might be a Local King stamp. Should have known that it was an Art Neko. I’d love to add them to my stash. Wish I could come to the Halloween bash, but unless I started right now I’d never make it in time, lol. LONG drive! Have fun…wonder if you’ll make the bread or not?

I wish we still had an AC Moore. Would you believe they lost their lease to a Wine shop that was next store and wanted the bigger store. We lost Barnes and Noble to Nordstrom Rack store. I much rather have the book store LOL . The markers look like a gem of a find!

Hello Lyndsay The Frugal Crafter! I really enjoyed your Frankenstein make up tut starring your husband! What a good sport! I’d love an opportunity to win these stamps. I live in a very small, rural town in Montana – we have no shopping available here! I have to drive over an hour for any kind of shopping! Believe me…if I won these stamps…they would be put to all kinds of great, imaginable uses! Thank you for your consideration – and keep up the great (and fun!) work!

No AC Moore or Mardens near me and you seem to find such great deals there. Looks like a great set as I’ve been picking up the pricier markers one by one with coupons at michaels and joannes. Hoping I can find them somewhere else. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Dear Lindsay, You inspired me to start water color painting When i was recovering from foot surgery in December 2013. i’m doing great with the painting I am also taking knitting lessons. You are a huge inspiration to me.

I love to watch your tutorials and listen to your chitter chatter!! 🙂 I have gotten many nuggets to use while I paint…whether it be adding some blue to leaves in watercolors or having patience to wait while the painting dries. Im hooked!! 😉 Gena K

I really enjoy Art Neko. They have fantastic sales, ship super fast and always send extra things (like stamps, little envelopes and one time, a piece of candy). They are almost as fun as you, Lindsay :-).

I love the stamps! I’m going to look for the markers at hobby lobby. I do use Copic markers but like to have different markers to use too.thanks for informational video. Very helpful! Happy Halloween! !!

Thanks for this review of Art Markers. It’s always nice to have an inexpensive alternative for pricy art supplies. These seem like a steal with a coupon. I really appreciate your videos and always learn something new.

Thanks Lindsay for your videos. Fruglecrafter is one of the first things I look at each day. I don’t know how you come up with all the ideas. I also love your product reviews. I now how a limitless choice for stamps, etc and not confined to JoAnn or Michaels styles. I do love your live tutorials, and it is partly due to your conversation. It is kinda like when I and my friends get together and scrap. We do the same “haul” thing and admire each other’s finds. And thank Art Neko for the stamps and your giveaway.

Definitely going to look for the markers and stamps. I love being able to put a keyword in and search for different ideas to try on your site. I just found out how to make washi tape from you, so excited, thanks.

I have really appreciated your sharing your tips and frugal ways of getting great results. I am new to stamping and paper crafting and your videos have been the most complete and informative for me to follow. I especially liked the simple tip of popping the color on your stamps with that bright yellow. I would never have thought of that on my own. Thanks for making it simple for even newbies like me!
Sincerely,
Deborah

Thank you for the info on these markers…will have to check them out…I have a complete set of Noir markers and most of them are dried out and one of them …it’s no hope…I need to take the nip out and try that next…thank you again for this and all your video…and it would be so awesome to win these stamps…tfs

What a great buy on those “no name” markers. Since I live in Michigan and you mentioned Lansing from the back of the packaging, I’m going to keep my eyes out for those fantastic markers. I have a pretty complete set of SpectrumNoirs. I chose them because the Copics are way past my budget. Just starting to use them. They do have a pretty large tip and when working on small images it can be challenging. I do love your tutorials. I have gotten many good ideas from them. Thanks for sharing your talent. I do have a question that I hope you may be able to help me with. I recently ordered some Wink a Stella pens on line, and I can not get the ink to flow down to the brush tip. Is there a special trick to it? I would appreciate ideas from anyone who might know the answer.

Love your down-to-earth practicality and enthusiasm. I have just bought my first alcohol markers, so your instructions will be helpful.
Thanks for your cheerful tutorials and the opportunity to win stamps!

Awesome video Lindsey!! The markers look like they would work really well for a travel set. I have a set of prismacolor markers that I have had a very long time and they still work like new but they were really expensive so I don’t like to travel with them. The ones you demo’d would be great for a travel set though.Thanks for the demo and the cards are super cute!!

Lindsay, you are the best. I just love watching you craft and your attitude is the best. I love it when you say ” Its just a card, put it in the mail and you’ll never have to see it again.” Please enter me in your stamp contest. These look like a lot of fun, but not as much fun as watching you every day. A faithful follower. Cecile

Hi Lindsay. I’m one of your YT subbies and always enjoy your videos (my YT name is G-G- Gaia). Thanks so much for the chance to win those gorgeous stamps. I can’t get them where I live (Spain) unless I shop online and I have no credit card. I guess I need to see how to sign up to Paypal!

Nice! I love how you made yor cards and those stamps are beautiful!…thanks for marker tutorial…ive been using the dolar store sharpies because im not sure i want to invest in better ones…will def look out for no names, your tips are very helpful…thank you

I did a quick Google search for “professional graphic art markers” and I found out that the markers are Pro Art brand. If anyone is looking for these markers they are available on Amazon for about $24 as well. You can also check your local craft store for them if you wish to use a coupon. I’m sure that more than just AC Moore carries them since they are not an AC Moore brand. I hope that’s helpful to somebody. 🙂

Hello Lindsay!
Love your channel always so instructive and fun you make me laugh.
I think those stamps are just lovely. I really thought the looked of the markers was not too bad at all considering there low price.
Caroline

I love your videos, your ideas,projects and most of all how you show us how to save money,love this markers ,i also enjoy I enjoy to listen your voice,because for me you talk so fast but i love it,the reason I said this is because i speak spanish,I’m not trying to criticize you or anything,I apologize for my English, I try to comment between the little I know and my autocorrect and suggestions,anyway,love your videos…LOL…^_^

Wow, awesome review. Thanks. I have all copics and I started with SN, but I was not a fan of them. I wanted to buy my young niece a set of markers but I didn’t want to start off with the most expensive set. So this is a great idea. Thanks

Lindsay, I love painting flowers, but have been reluctant to do them with alcohol markers, so thanks for this great video. I would love to win the floral stamps you used. I have watched most of your videos and always enjoy them plus always learn something.
JoAnn in NC

Hi Lindsay! I love all of your videos, and I am constantly amazed at all the things you come up with and achieve on your channel. I would love to win these stamps, as I do not have that many beautiful stamps to use in coloring with markers. These would be a great addition to my beginning stamp collection. I wish everyone luck! Thanks for all you do for the crafting community, you are truly an inspiration to many! Hugs, Eva in Ky

Hi Lindsay, love these cards and the markers are so bright and juicey. When I was in the UK in July I popped into The Works and came across some cheap markers brand name Tinge and they worked perfectly. I’ve got Copics now but I still use the Tinge . The stamps are lovely…would love to have the chance to try them out. Take care, June x

Dear Lindsay,
I am so pleased to have found your tutorials. I am very new to art jounrnaling and your lessons have been amazing. I live in the Middle East and I have learned so much from you about homemade materials. Please continue to make tutorials for people like me who are hungry for new lessons.

Love the stamps and the markers!! Pick me, I haven’t bought any craft supplies for 8 months because I may already have too much stuff…nah! Anyhow, I can’t do any shopping for 4 more months so I’d really like to win something!

I wouldn’t miss your videos, they are great for an art beginner. Even though I’m pretty old now. But here in Australia it’s difficult to find any good stamps and I’m going to check out the supplier you use and see if I can get some sent out. Have fun at your Halloween party, I wish I could be there. Cheers from Ian.

Thank you so much for sharing about these makers and techniques to use with them. I love the stamps you used. Those envelopes are gorgeous. I especially like the card with the bluebirds. Thanks for sharing. Edwina Brown

Thanks for the stamp giveaway Lindsay! The Art Markers did a pretty decent job. Appreciate the loading of color onto the alcohol blender to get lighter colors. I think I will look for them at Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Joanne’s (AC Moore isn’t near me.) Take care!

Love all your tutorials. Haven’t progressed to the alcohol markers although I have bought some Stampin Up and SpectraNoir I can’t seem to blend properly….will try again with your tips. Would also love to win the drawing.

Lindsey darling, I love your videos so much, everyday I check for new videos and you have really inspired me to get back into crafting. I really hope you get a chance to read my comment because I am a huge fan and wished I lived closer so I could take some of your classes, well anyways thank you so much for brightening up my life with your ideas and art. -K

Hi Lindsay I love your tutorials actually all your videos thank you for taking the time to do them. I hope you all have a Happy Halloween. I would love to win the stamps. Thank you for the chance.

Hi Lindsay, wow amazing markers and stamps hours of creativity for all. Live across the pond and it’s really good to hear the offer is worldwide as so many are not , and it’s hard to be a frugal crafter over here as things are the same price in dollars as they are in British Pounds. Thanks Lindsay love your videos watch them all the time. Hx

I’m a UK viewer and I must say America has a great crafting culture I wish it was the same here, loving your videoes, you have inspired me to paint I love the poppies you did my mother loves poppies so she will have a nice surprise this Christmas. Long live the frugal craft in all of us.

I just started to follow your channel and I love all the videos you posted!! I watched the haul video yesterday and ended up going to AC Moore today lol. I did find those pretty paper for $5 and now I want to try the markers as well!! Those stamps are so pretty and it would be great to have!!

Lindsay you just blow my mind, your talents are endless!!! I love love love to watch you color and paint, those are my two favorite things to do as a crafter and I am a multicrafter too. Thanks for the chance to win some stamps to add to my collection. Can’t wait for the next Ask a Crafter too.

Lindsay I love your work! You inspire me to get out my supplies and start getting crafty! And it takes alot to motivate me to do some art haha. Keep up your amazing work!! PS I love listening to your rambles. Some youtubers can’t pull it off unlike you.

Hi Lindsay, I like finding inexpensive crafting tools. These markers are a great find. You always inspire me and are the reason I have so many watercolor supplies in my crafty room. 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win the stamps.

Love the markers. I have an idea. How about taking your camera with you on your next trip ti the dollar store. I would love to see you and your friends shopping and what your all think about the deals you fine.

I am shocked that the markers are so nice. I really think maybe I should see what is at my stores cause that is pretty awesome. I really love your videos. Thank you for everything you do. Thank you so much. You teach me that I need to stop being so afraid to try new things.

Lindsay, Thank you for always being on the lookout for cheap alternatives for us! My AC Moore is in Bangor, which is about 45 mins away, so I’ll be looking for the markers online (I hope AC Moore has online shopping) And the stamps are lovely! I love ArtNeko 🙂

Love, love, love those stamps!!! Drool every time you use that brand, they just don’t make a stamp I don’t like! The Oriental flare is sooooo awesome. Also, love all your videos and helpful tips!!!! Just simply Love you!!

Thanks for all your inspiring fun ways to craft. Your ideas have kept me busy thinking of new ways to use what I have. Would like to know more about the art markers. Is it possible to enter the bar code on Google and maybe get information about the manufacturer. Keep up your great videos and keeping “oops” in. LOL. The stamps are really
beautiful, and would be great to win.

Thank you so much for another chance to win a free stamp! I love your blog . ( I am hoping to see more watercolor paintings tutorials though – maybe watercolor Christmas cards? – thank you in advance,
Olga

I just attempted to just email you however word press sent me an email and told me there was a processing problem and told me to send my question to you this way.
I emailed that – I was attempting to negotiate on the artneko site and was blocked by their server. Why I do not know! I tried to contact them through the name that said it handled their server problems but yahoo would not let me and said it was an invalid address.
Can you assist me ? I saw some things that were of interest to me and now I have no access.
So sorry to have had to bother you with this.
P.S. I love your blog and handy tips. They have been helpful to me.
Most Sincerely,
JanetDay

I loved this…I’m very new to markers…in fact I only have four…but I do have a blending pen lol. Mine are Faber Castelle ‘Classic’ pens and are gorgeous for shading…so juicy and lovely. I wish we could get the offers you all seem to get over in the US…Here in the Uk we are about ten years behind lol…we’re just catching on to scrapbooking…haha just kidding! Anyway thanks for the great tutorial and I have another window open ready to watch all the other alcohol marker tutorials you linked to…I didn’t realise you had those…yay!

These are sooo awesome! I wish we had an ac moore over here in Rochester, MN!
The stamps you used are some of the most beautiful I have seen!
Fingers crossed and praying I have a chance of winning these gorgeous stamps!
Luv ya Lindsey!

Hi Lindsey, I love your videos and look forward to each one. I am new to stamping so I don’t have many stamps yet. My favorites so far are from Lost Coast Design. I would love to have these beautiful stamps, they look like a lot of fun to color. Thank you for the chance to win them.

As always, you have given me great ideas for using markers to make maybe some Christmas gifts for the financially challenged! Love your videos (not to mention your sparkling personality) that never fail to make me smile! I’d love to win some markers…I don’t have the $$ to buy any. Take care…keep frugal crafting, Lindsay!!

I love your work ! You are my favorite artist and teacher you make my art world learning experiences great ! I watch all your videos just about every other day love the glitter earrings you done so easy .
Your cards you done with the marker set was beautiful they look to be like good markers we have only hobby lobby n micheals n Joann’s here in Indiana so I’m excited about this thank you for always sharing 😉

Another masterpiece…, I don’t miss a video and I’ learning so much. As I live in Italy I must say that you are so lucky to have all these shops full of goodies not to talk about the coupons you can use. Everything is always so cheap compared to what we have here. We could buy online, but sometimes the shops don’t sell outside the US and Canada and the shipping costs are always so high.

Hi!! I’ll not be a chicken!! I’ll sign up to win! Love, love, love thefrugalcrafter!! I’m so glad I found you!! I’m going to ATTEMPT to make your homemade monoprint plate — wish me luck! By the way, your work is outstanding and I thank you so much for sharing and your tutorials! I wish you a great day!

I am one of the few in my stamping group that does not own a single Copic (well unless you count the blender pen). Just can’t justify the cost. Thanks for your video. Wish there was an AC Moore near me. The closet one is 400 miles away near my son’s Air Force base. Will be going there for Christmas since he can’t get leave to come home and it may be our last chance to see him at Christmas for a while. Yes, I will definitely be going to AC Moore while I am there!!!

I always like to see different inexpensive options. These markers look like a deal. I have been using the Bic Mark-it markers because I could afford them and have been slowly adding Spectrum Noir pens. It’s really great that you show people that even the cheaper items are very useable! Thank you.

I have been all over the internet trying to find those markers. Like so many other things I have recently acquired, you inspire me to try some really cool tools.
I think you are wonderful to follow.
I have driven my family crazy for years having so many different creative interests. My husband can’t figure out why I don’t just pick one thing and stick with it. I was so happy to find someone else with the same “affliction” LOL.
We have a daughter with special needs, (grown now, but still lives at home) and I find crafting very therapeutic; when time and energy allows.

Hi Lindsay. What a wonderful giveaway you’re offering this time :). I’m keeping everything crossed as being in the UK it’s often difficult to find the stamps that you uses for sale this side of the pond, and being on sickness benefit there’s never enough money to pay for shipping from the US. I’ll be holding my breath until next Friday and the draw. xx

I really love the envelopes that you created with the set. You are right it would be a perfect gift. I wonder if I can find those markers in my area. I do not have an ACMoore here…but I am in MI about 2.5 hours from Lansing.

Those pens look very interesting!! no ACMoore here in Calif. and a great buy! I would luv a chance to win the stamps…flowers are my thing to color…thanks for the truth as we all rush at the last minute lol
have fun and would have luv’d to go to your party!!!

OH! Please count me in your GiveAway Lindsay!!! I don’t comment on your YouTube but i watch you all the time! Thanks so much for this opportunity! You can reach me at
nuleaf at comcast dot net
Hugs! deb

Always enjoy the product information. Good to know a bit about what’s out there and how they measure up.
You videos are a hoot and the best way to learn is by having so much fun. They have lured me into more trying of new ideas not to mention buying more!😆
Thank you for putting yourself out there and your beautiful art for us to enjoy.
Wish you would have a contest featuring one of your pieces you demo, because the likely hood of me ever getting to one of your craft fairs is, are you kidding and forgiddabout it.

I love, love, LOVE your blog! The envelope to match your cards are really and added bonus. I like your marker tutorial. I have some spectrum markers and a few are dry. Is there any way to revive them? I also made your bat and pumpkin halloween candy holders. Keep blogging and I will keep following!! Thanks

Thank you for all the information you so willingly and skillfully share. I watch your posts regularly and have learned so much from you. I have started using my watercolors once again because of your inspiration! I love the stamps and the way you use them, and appreciate the opportunity to be eligible for the giveaway. God bless you! Eliana

Hi Lindsay,
I would love to win the set of Art Neko stamps. I really like Asian style stamps. I just sent in an order to Art Neko for a different Asian style set, as I’m hoping to win this set. LOL I love watching your videos, you make me believe I can do or make just about anything. Keep up the good work.

Lindsay I love watching your videos. Whether it be a haul video or a tutorial video I learn so much and I love your energy. Hoping it will rub off on me and at 67, I need all the energy I can get. lol
Brooke

I enjoy your videos and you’ve inspired me to try my watercolors again. I’m enjoying the process once again. I also liked those new markers you got and how to use the blender pen. Please add my name to your stamp giveaway…I’d be thrilled to win them.

Hi! I came right over to enter to win some stamps. Now I need to finish watching the video. I always enjoy your videos. I learn so much and get inspired. Thanks for all the sharing you do. It’s totally appreciated. And thanks for the opportunity to win something.

Always love your reviews, ask a crafter videos and your awesome tutorials! Thanks for this one! I can only wish we had an AC Moore in Canada! 😦 I will check my Michaels for it. I have COPICS, TOUCH and a few others but you know us crafters with markers! Actually any media for that matter, lord knows any sale or value on any media is a craft hoarders dream! LOL!

“Of course I will use my gajillion markers…one day! What if I don’t have that EXACT shade?! Oh the price is soooo good! Think of all those floral and greens you could do?! Oh yes, it is a must! I need it, I must buy it to complete my sets!” (There must be a shade in there that does ALL that?!) etc etc!!!

For someone who has been quietly watching you forever, I sure do have a lot to say!! LOL

Great tutorial! My local craft store does not carry this brand…however, still great to hear unbiased opinion on the cheaper brands. Now, I won’t be so hesistant to consider the less expensive options! Thanks! PS: love the notecards!

love and appreciate your videos…especially ones like this that help me not waste money on products not up to par and remind me that I don’t have to buy top priced products to get a good job done…thank you

I have started painting with watercolor, and I’m doodling again, draw and all kinds of other crafty things. Thank you for setting me free. And as always, I just love your personality. You are so much fun.I would love to win a stamp or 2 but that is just icing on the cake.

I love your videos! Once again, you were able to amaze me with your talents! I took your advice and bought the markers (also using the same coupon) and I really love the markers! You inspire me to craft and I would like to say that I am forever grateful for that! Thank you, Lindsay!

Your tutorials are so exciting and with loads of information. Love to watch them everyday. Thank you for this giveaway. Was thinking while posting this comment that if i win these pretty stamps it would be similar to when your inspiring watercolour tutorials made me buy good quality brushes before i bought any watercolours or paper:-) This is addictive!!

As a “newbie” crafter I am so thankful for your reviews, ideas, and cost saving techniques. I am sure that I have saved money on supplies that I might have bought and been unhappy with, as well as those that were an unnecessary purchase. I enjoyed this video and many many of your other videos. The stamps and “no name” markers look like something I need to try. And finally, thank you for the welcoming feeling you give to all of us “newbies” and the needed encouragement. Happy continued crafting!!!

I always enjoy watching you work. I recently had ear surgery and I am now deaf and was so afraid that I would miss a lot of videos. I must say even without hearing what you had to say your teaching was so precise that I was able to understand almost all of it. I sure wish they had something like TV has so that words scroll across the screen. Non the less so far you are one of the few that I have watched that I am able to pick up most of what is being taught. Thank you for a chance to win your giveaway as well. Happy Saturday

I love your work! I’m disabled and suffer from chronic pain so I’m always looking for SOMETHING that I can do a little bit here and there, that will alleviate boredom. I think stamping may be next on my list to try out!

I have used pencils up ’til now, but this is an inspirational blog video! My Sweetie is going to roll his eyes when I say the ‘marker’ word in with ‘I would like to try. . .’ Getting ready for Christmas with an empty stash is $$$. Thank you Lindsay! Good Show! ;-*)

Oh My Gosh, Where have I been, I only just discovered you on Youtube, googling water colour pencils. It is a Sunday here in Australia and I have just sat for hours watching old videos. My new fave obsession. Love it, thanks for your creativity Lindsay

I’m going to melt my home made gelli plate and add more to it. I got a larger cake pan from the dollar store and I want to be able to put a full size piece of printer paper on it. Hope I win the stamps but either way I’ll let you know how the gelli plate turns out.

I love the art Neko stamps, and I wish there was an A.C.Moore anywhere near me, but there’s not. I’ve been using some Sharpie markers to color with, but have run the green one dry already. It was from a special 80’s set and was the best for leaves. I’ll have to try the pallet mixing technique to get that color again.

The two greens look a bit different – one seems to be yellowish and the other a cool “apple color”.
You gave the info about the world wide shipping for the stamps before but this time I listened *g*
I think I’ll get me some as a christmas gift to myself.
Thank you for doing all the tests and sharing your knowledge.

WOW!!! I like how easy these are to use and the fact that you can use them with other alcohol markers is even better. I have no
Alcohol markers, the ones I use are Crayola markers that I share with my daughter. They don’t blend very well but they do color. Would love to have my own set, but have to wait. But love these.

Hi Lindsay,
How did you know those markers were alcohol markers when they were sealed? Is there anything normally on the labels that tell us the difference ? I only have some SU markers and stamp pads, and until I found your site didn’t know the difference in stamp pads much less markers. What is NINA paper?
Thank you for all your lessons.
Lindsey (from before anyone knew it was a first name or a female name)

I just realized recently that I had some alcohol markers that I found at an estate sale–Prismacolor brand after I used coupon after coupon to get Spectrum Noir markers at Jo-Anns. Now I can’t wait to get up to steam using them and so your videos are sooooo valuable to us newbies. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Hello Lindsay I recently started watching your YouTube videos and you are such an inspiration to me. I just wanted to say thank you for posting your videos the help alot considering im new to the whole art thing. Even though im not the best at it I enjoy what I do and you reminded me that the more I work on my art the better i will get and thank you for that.

I love your videos and blog and everything you do I spend all my spare time watching you do watercolors and all your other art work. You are so engaging it is inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing the way you do Lindsay you are truly inspirational to the artists in training. Keep up the great work, we really appreciate it.

I so enjoy your videos and your positive upbeat approach to everything. I’ve tried many new things and learned so much thanks to you! Also, I watched your daughter’s video and was so happy to see that she has your creative streak as well. Keep doing your good things 🙂

I love your videos for so many reasons! You’re well-spoken, you talk quick enough so that it doesn’t drag on, you get to the point… I could go on forever! So many other videos start out promising, but I end up stopping them because I’d rather watch paint dry! Thank you!!!

Hi. I am a subscriber to your videos. I LOVE THEM!!!
Need some advice. I’m heading up an event early October for kids ages 5 to 12. These kids live in a home here in Florids for neglected and abused kids.
We want to make some cards to teach them creativity and coordination and then take three cards to the nursing and assisted living homes in the area.
I thought maybe you could guide ne. Desperately seeking some donations for stamps…ink..cardstock…markers. Anything would be greatly appreciated. We don’t have money from the home to spend and its just one other lady and myself trying to fund this.
Can you help?

Hi Nancy, I am sure we can help. Do you have a PO box that we can send things to? I can post this on the Frugalcrafter community Facebook page page and I bet we can get some people to fill a priority box or envelope with goodies to send. How many kids are you going to teach? If you want I can post the info but have everyone send stuff to you.

I love all of your videos, especially the painting ones, I have learnt so much from them! I also love all the things you teach, I was very impressed about your video about making a living out of art, card making, going to art markets and festivals. I actually do no think that it was a video that I did not like. I always start may day checking your youtube channel, and then the mail.
Thank you for everything and God bless you!
